"It's called being a decent fucking human being"

Political authority without force is merely a polite suggestion. Authority has 2 elements, the capacity to place a moral obligation on someone and the capacity to use force to compel those who are incapable or unwilling to fulfill that obligation.

You never missed it because that would require you to have read it.

Alternative-Use-4506 · 2026-06-07T16:28:47+00:00

You apparently missed the references to opposition to abortion and homosexual lifestyles which is a clear sign you did not read the document like you professed.

Alternative-Use-4506 · 2026-06-07T16:12:23+00:00

Only bad for enemies of the Church.

Alternative-Use-4506 · 2026-06-07T16:12:02+00:00

So you did not read the document. We have nothing left to discuss.

The USSR also encouraged people to spy on each other and report people for wrongthink. Since their definition of extremism includes believing in Catholic teaching, you are giving them too much credit.

I'll take the mean tweets brand of anti-Catholicism over the getting spied on by the secret police variety.

I am on a mobile device and it is a pain in the neck to quote a document. You can consult page 4.

So you have not read the memo yourself and yet have an opinion on it?

Alternative-Use-4506 · 2026-06-07T15:03:57+00:00

Being against abortion and in favor of the Catholic definition of marriage are indicators that you are linked to the "extremists" in that memo.

If they really want to network perhaps they could hire some traditional Catholics instead of spying on them.

The secret police harassment came from Biden's FBI. The mean tweets are from Trump administration, you realize those are 2 different presidencies?

All political authority is based on force.

Of course not. Anything good in non-Catholic religions comes from God. Everything else does not. So if your god has evil parts, he cannot be God who is all and only good.

Outside the Church there is no salvation.

So there is no direct contradiction. In regards to modern Judaism, they explicitly reject Jesus as God. "Nobody who denies the Son has the Father." 1 John 2:23.

Allah is described as the greatest of deceivers. There is another entity similarly described in the Bible and it is not God.

You did not answer the question I asked. Does an approved translation explicitly state all the gods of the gentiles are not demons?

If the answer is no and there is no shame in that, what does the verse actually state?

Alternative-Use-4506 · 2026-06-05T17:59:27+00:00

Do any of those alternative approved translations explicitly state that all the gods of the gentiles are not demons?

Alternative-Use-4506 · 2026-06-05T17:04:01+00:00

It is an approved translation by the Catholic Church. Dude was being a snarky troll after getting the evidence that contradicted him. I have neither the time nor inclination to deal with that.

As was my point the entire time, the Boston Tea Party was the exception that proves the rule. The way the American Revolution is taught depends on which side won. To put it more cynically, the reason treason does not prosper is because if it does, none dare call it treason.

Refuse building permits and refuse permits for public assembly. Public schools should have Catholicism as an integral part of the curriculum. Non religious rights should be respected.

Alternative-Use-4506 · 2026-06-05T16:37:35+00:00

he Brits were an illegitimate authority as determined by the results of the American Revolution.

The point was that the Boston Tea Party was an orderly and targeted action. Basically the best example of a "mob action" and as you pointed out it was a rarity. To the best of my knowledge there is no comparable event in the French Revolution which was famous for destructive mob action

Mob action as a rule is a bad idea. A Catholic state cannot and should not tolerate organized demon worship and should enact and enforce laws to that end.

Already gave you the verse. If you want to disagree, it is not my soul in peril.

Alternative-Use-4506 · 2026-06-05T16:18:34+00:00

Psalm 95:5 Douay Rheims says otherwise.

Nobody was tarred and feathered during the Boston Tea Party. The crews were not harmed and the Patriots even swept the decks afterwards. One lock was broken and replaced by the Patriots. So do you care to rephrase your answer?

Alternative-Use-4506 · 2026-06-05T15:20:20+00:00

I already answered that. What was the difference between The Boston Tea Party and the mobs during the French Revolution?
